Halo fans rejoice for there are four new collectibles to put next to your Master Chief helmet. Weta debuted these sculptures at Comic-Con 2008 and are drool-wrorthy items for hardcore Halo fans.

These figures so much more special than regular collectibles because they are cased in Sterling Silver and certain parts of each sculpture are solid Sterling Silver. These unique features makes these figures truly one-of-a-kind or as Weta puts it, “One in the Universe of each.“

The first auction is for the Master Chief and…

McFarlane Toys, makers of Spawn, sports and military actions figures will add Halo 3 to its already impressive lineup.

Known for ultra-realistic and inexpensive action figures, McFarlane plans to offer six figures, five sold individually and a grunt 2-pack, and three vehicles based on the video game franchise.

The information just keeps coming. Yet again, we are treated to some enticing tidbits of info regarding the finished product that will be Halo 3.

The first bit of info are videos that players have posted of both the Wraith and Covenet Energy Sword in action. Also of note in these videos are the high flying shenanigans of the players as the leap over buildings with a single bound and run faster than a speeding bullet. This would indicate that the rumors of being able to adjust player speed and gravity in multiplayer games is quite true.

The next bit of information comes from Xbox 360 Fanboy. They’ve gotten their hands on some scanned images of the upcoming issue of GamePro magazine and what they show is quite exciting. It looks like this game has a lot more in store for fans on September 25th when it will be released in the United States.

It seems a few fanboys did a little bit of digging with the current Halo 3 Beta’s code and turned up a few things that are not yet activated.

First we had word of the possibility of Four Player Co-Op over Xbox Live. Now it seems that deeper delving into the code has revealed some character customization that should make many fans happy.

In multi-player, players might be able to choose different classes of armor for both the Spartan and the Elite model. To make things even better it also seems that sections of the armor could be replaceable. Separate listings for helmet, shoulder, and body types appear to be selectable, which could make for some interesting armor combos.

If this is the case, this could be the answer to the character customization so many fans have been asking for. The good news is that, thanks to the recent announcement of a September 25, 2007 release date for the game, players will not be left in the dark for too much longer.

In a move that represents the good kind of customer service, Microsoft and Bungie have fixed the “Rule of Three” fiasco that accompanied the Crackdown/Halo 3 Beta launch. Due to an unforeseen glitch in the system, many of the players that put in the time and effort to secure a Halo 3 Beta code by playing Halo 2 according to Bungie’s Rule of Three program and didn’t receive them have had their Beta codes re-sent.

Just a quick refresher on the Rule of 3. Halo 2 players were required to play at least three hours of multiplayer over Xbox Live over a three day period and then be one of the first 13,333 people to register at Halo3.com.

If you were one of the unlucky ones to not receive your Beta key, be sure to check your e-mail inbox as well as the section that handles your spam just to be sure. If the code doesn’t show up in either of these cases, give a call to Microsoft customer support ( 1-800-4MYXBOX ) and they should be able to walk you through getting your code. If you do happen to call, say hello to my “Good Buddy” Max. He’s a good guy who only wants the best for you and your XBox. Good Luck and I hope to see you fragging foes on Xbox Live.
